Maui Beach is a library music cue closely associated with SpongeBob SquarePants since the Nickelodeon cartoon began in 1999, regularly used for Krusty Krab breaks, Goo Lagoon trips and other sunny outdoor scenes in Bikini Bottom. Its Hawaiian arrangement became so familiar that fans now recognise it from the opening notes alone and share it separately from the episodes. Online it sits alongside the spongebob sad song for sad moments and the running My leg! gag, covering the opposite, cheerful end of the show's sound palette.
